Cardiff City have completed the season-long loan signing of West Brom defender Cedric Kipre, who becomes the Bluebirds' 12th recruit this summer.
WalesOnline learned on Thursday that the Bluebirds were interested in taking the 25-year-old centre-back on loan before Steve Bruce revealed the player was close to sealing a move away from The Hawthorns.
City have made 11 permanent signings already this summer, but the centre-half, who is eligible for both France and the Ivory Coast, becomes the Bluebirds' first loan capture. Kipre, who is known as a ball-playing centre-half who will add yet more mobility to a squad, expressed his delight at the move to the Welsh capital.
